WAFF is thrilled to be presenting the Chicago premiere of
Jack’s Precious Moment
directed by Azar Kazemi
at Chemically Imbalanced Theater
1420 W. Irving Park
February 2-25
Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays 8pm
After Bib’s twin brother Jack is brutally killed by Muslim fundamentalists in Iraq, he begins (along with his father and Jack’s widow) trying to pick up the pieces. But his own fundamentalist Christian beliefs get in the way of making sense of senseless tragedy. The loss of a life leads to a loss of faith, and ultimately to a loss of identity. Maybe finding peace is as simple as a journey to the Precious Moments Inspiration Park, peppered along the way with odd haikus and a philosophical carny. Probably not, though.
Alternately heartbreaking and hilarious, Jack’s Precious Moment is a darkly comic story of family and faith, of crisis and coping mechanisms. Will Act For Food is extremely excited to bring this play to a Chicago stage for the first time.
